The Surge of Tim O'Shea
Tim O'Shea came over to our desk and asked who the chip leader was. George Youssif was at the top of our list but as we glanced at his stack we noticed he lost a lot. O'Shea was one of the players to profit from Youssif and he told us what happened.
Youssif limped under the gun and and the action got folded to O'Shea who raised to 980 from the cut-off. One player called and Youssif three-bet to 2,150 after which both O'Shea and the third player called. The flop came down and everyone checked. The turn was the and again the action was checked to O'Shea who bet 6,200. Only Youssif called and the river was the . Youssif checked once more and O'Shea bet 18,250. The former chipleader called and mucked as O'Shea turned over for a straight.
Youssif is down to around 100,000 while O'Shea is at the top with around 150,000 chips.
